What we are up to this week....


Wellllllll.....I was hoping for an easy week.  Nope :( !!  I was just looking over the calendar and may cry a bit.

We have our last Adventure club and LEGO Clubs of this official School year.  Lydia has gymnastics. Joey has horseback riding.  We are all going to a Toledo Mudhens game Tuesday morning.  We have a playdate with some homeschool friends on Wednesday.  An Art Museum tour and American Girl club this week.  Also an Ice Cream Social on Friday....whew.  And I want to go to the zoo Friday afternoon to see the new exhibit that is opening.  Not sure yet how we are going to do it all, and cram in work.  But we fell a little behind last week, so playing catch up in a couple areas.
